This year Nigel (Bailey), our Assistant Veterans Rep, will be taking on ‘March in March’ to raise vital funds for life-changing mental health treatment for veterans.
Combat Stress is the UK’s leading charity for veterans’ mental health. For over a century, they’ve helped former servicemen and women deal with issues like trauma, anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Today, they provide support to veterans from every service and every conflict.
Nigel is taking on ‘March in March’ to help take vital steps towards ensuring veterans can get the support they need. It is his intention to March, “I use the term loosely!”, from Leigh on Sea station via Southend seafront to Shoeburyness station and then back to the Castle pub in Southend, a total of 10.7 miles on Sunday 29th March 2026.
Nigel is not asking for sponsorship,
Just that you make a donation to Combat Stress using the link below.
Any amount would be greatly appreciated. https://events.combatstress.org.uk/fundraisers/nigelbailey/marchinmarch
Times are hard and that people’s resources are stretched, but if you could make a donation, no matter how small, that will go a long way in supporting our military veterans who may not need help today but may need it tomorrow. Our branch will also be making a donation.
The Branch and Nigel thank you so much for your support and together we march!
